Great Britain and Ireland--Army--10th Royal Hussars

The 10th (Prince of Wales's Own) Royal Hussars was a cavalry regiment of the British Army. It was formed in 1715, when it was known as Gore's Regiment of Dragoons. It was renamed the 10th Regiment of Dragoons in 1715 and, after two further name changes, became known as the 10th (Prince of Wales's Own) Royal Hussars. The regiment saw action during the Peninsular War, Crimean War, Second Anglo-Afghan War, Madhist War and Second Boer War and was subsequently stationed in India and South Africa. In October 1914, the regiment returned to Britain to join the British Expeditionary Force for service on the Western Front during the First World War. On its return to Britain in 1921, the Regiment was retitled The 10th Royal Hussars (Prince of Wales's Own). In October 1969, it amalgamated with the 11th Hussars (Prince Albert's Own) to form the Royal Hussars (Prince of Wales's Own).
